This Democracy

Funny voices in my head, sort of like the government
That tell me what I should believe
But I turn those voices down, smash them hard into the ground
I won't be a tool, I'm fucking free

Everyone is always out bragging about their rights
Yeah I guess it's partly true, we've got to use the ones we've got
They boast about freedom of speech as if it makes them cool
But how much good will speech do you when you're the systems tool?

Chorus:
Make this democracy what it was meant to be
Not some sort of giant profit machine
The day we all have and equal say will be the day that we say, "Hey,"
"This was the way it was meant to be"

Don't judge things on popularity
Don't give up if they don't agree
Fight your own battles, refuse to fight their wars
Take a stand 'till we command, it's what we're fighting for
